Try this and see if it makes a difference. Close all apps and reboot the iPad.


Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.


Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.


If your apps are working now - the next time that the iPad crashes, take more of which app you just launched - close it from the recents tray - reboot the iPad and then see if things return to normal. If that works, you can probably assume that the last app that you launched is causing the problem.


You may want to delete the app and reinstall it and see if that helps.

If Apps keep closing: Use a desktop or Laptop only and go to iTunes and delete App (like Jackpot Party.)


Then you have to Use iTunes to restore your iOS device back to factory settings. ( 1st sync and back up your device to iTunes) Instructions here for sync, backup and restore:

After restore, go to iTunes store and download the App again ( if game, all levels/coins will still be there) I tried everything else, this is the only thing that worked! And it worked great!!
